Linux - blah. I am not convinced yet.
Look bud... I only said they smoothed things out... <g>

my electronic banking/trading could function 100%. Doesn't Netscape 7.1 run on Linux ... so what's the problem ?

WalMart I dare you to walk through their ailes and tell me they aren't loaded with crap just like Zellers... it's the service and marketing.. other than that knowing your price sometimes Zellers is the better bet... LOL...

SAM's club ROTF... you sound grief stricken... it's cheap Canadians fault the store is not a success... ROTFLMAO...

FWIW, Linux is dubbed "linsux" in Un*x woild.
Has to do with the distributions: all distos want to catch the customer.
Try to install an un-supported (not supported by your disto) software and you are back to manual install.
So, go for BSD and learn Un*x the hard way, as we all did for DOS. Don't wait for Linux (Red Hat?, Novell/SuSe?...?).
What's that Mac OS anyway? Un*x name was Darwin.<ggg>

In other words, Linux is a project of a core OS maintained by Linus Torwald vs. BSD a core kept portable by a community.
So called "Linux" distributors are a sort of sellers of an own flavour of "Windows-user-friendly-install" packages.
My Windows is so user friendly I can't have it work my way.
